Shopping in San Antonio

Shopping in San Antonio

After one day in Texas, Hailey told me that she would like to live in US and moved all her friends to there. I would say that it was probably because everyone loves bigger space and being on holiday meant mommy and daddy were in a good mood and so she could pretty much get away with everything.

The way from HK to SF was painful, it was an afternoon flight and so both Chloe and Hailey did not sleep and when they finally fell asleep, we were nearly in SF. However, Hailey really liked the entertainment on the plane and so she was ok. Chloe was a nightmare on the plane, did not eat much and liked to walk around, not felt like buckle up. In general, she was ok, may be we prepare for the worse. When we fly from SF to TX, it was an 4 hours flight and she slept through the whole flight as she was too tired. Which was good to me as I have to sat with her, I could get a little nap as well. more…

22 Apr 2009 Trip to Texas–is Chloe too young to Travel?

Yes, and no.  Yes, she probably will not remember it later.  But seeing her very happy with all the things that happened in the trip, it worth every trouble.  She may not remember this trip when she grows up, but me and Nick will always remember how happy she was in the trip, she was so happy when she saw the dog in my Aunt place.  She had no fear to touch and feed him.  Hailey on the other hand, much older, was very nervous about it.  There are things that you can only see that when they were young.  And once they are older, they grew up and before you knew it, they were gone and never come back.  Although I have to said that taking Chloe double my luggage and she is really “pain in the A**”  in terms of looking after.  There will be one day, when Chloe tells me that she does not want to travel with us and prefer to go with her friends, then I will think about this trip, and how glad I was to be able to spent time with her when she was also happy to be with me as well.

Hailey used to travel to so many places when she was young.  The first time she was on a plane, she was less than a month old.  Actually, it is more like that we do not have any help and have to take her around with no choice.  At that time, we were so sorry for Hailey that she had to travel with us because we could not provide  a very stable environment for her.  So, we have said that if we ever have another child, she will not be travel as such an early age.  So, Chloe did not travel until she was one.  But I think that now is the good age for her to travel.  She now understood so many things and when she was happy, we were happy!

Hailey told her drama teacher that she was going to “America” for 1 day ^_^. I am looking forward for this trip because last time when I was there, the trip has to cut short because my Grandmother passed away. But this time, I will have to stuck with Chloe monster and I just do not know how she would behave on the plane. I already took some sedation medicine from the doctor to dose her off on the plane. I will let you know if it works? We did try it one time at home, she still cried when we put her down, but only last for one minute. However, she still woke up in the middle of the night. So, let see…

I have taken a whole world with me this time and still was thinking that I did not take enough. I really hope that I can travel less one day. That day seems to be very far away…
